"Hollywood" John McMullen is a well known and respected person in the harness racing industry, both in Australia and in America.

Pat's seventh book records directly from interviews with John, the highs and lows of a 'successful' life.

Starting with John living in a horse stall next to the toilet block at the Ipswich Showgrounds, the story shows the determination that lead a young man who drove his first winner at the age of 17 to overcome several episodes of adversity to become one of the most respected and recognised harness racing characters.

This book is inspirational for any person, but particularly for members of the harness racing industry and for those wishing to join the sport.

Pat Ritter's contribution to the heritage of the harness racing industry was  recognised when he received the 'Achiever of the Week' award from the national harness racing television show 'In the Gig'.
